In Tong's mansion, Mrs. Ning took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, cleaned her hands, and saw Ji Yan come in with the curtain, handed the handkerchief to the side, and asked, "Have you gone to inquire about anything?"

Ji Yan got closer, and she and Ji Xiang were left here, so she replied in a low voice: "Mother Wang, and no one in the Shuiyu Courtyard knows what you said, girl. ”

She went out to inquire about some private affairs of Mrs. Tong.

"Could it be that I'm too careful?" Ning Shi twisted his eyebrows, "It's just that I look at Fu Lang's appearance, and he also clearly knows that the eldest sister-in-law admires His Royal Highness King Mu!"

When she met King Mu and the six ladies at the north foot of Zixia Mountain and went out to salute, she casually glanced at the look of Mrs. Tong, and the reluctance to love King Mu in her eyes was really obvious to everyone.

She said casually at that time, His Royal Highness King Mu and Mrs. Ji Liu were really like a pair of fairy couples, but she found that her husband subconsciously went to look at Mrs. Tong.

In this way, could it be that everyone in the Tong Mansion knows that Mrs. Tong admires King Mu?

Or is it that the people of the Tong Mansion all acquiesce to Yun Ying's unmarried Tong lady admiring this King Mu in their hearts?

"Girl," Ji Yan whispered, "If this thing is true, how to say it is also related to a woman's reputation, even if the people of the Tong Mansion know, it must only be known by a few people next to the eldest lady, and it will definitely not be known to the whole mansion with such fanfare, even if we inquire, I am afraid that we will not find out anything from the mouths of the subordinates." ”

Ning Shi thought about it for a while, felt so, and nodded: "You should pay attention to this matter again." ”

If the Tong Mansion really acquiesced to the admiration of King Mu in the heart of Mrs. Tong and did not stop it, could it be that she was so sure that she could marry Mrs. Tong into the royal family and marry the Seventh Prince?

Then, Tong Fu's heart is also a little too big.

The Ning family of Tong Mansion was thinking about this, and in the Shuiyu Courtyard, Mrs. Tong sat on the embroidery pier, holding the hand of Mrs. Tong, and was also talking about it: "Jiaojiao, your eldest brother said that when you came back from the other courtyard today, you met King Mu and the six ladies of Ji Mansion on the way?"

Mrs. Tong was mentioned sadly again, and she lowered her eyes and said "um" softly.

Mrs. Tong held Mrs. Tong's hand, sighed, and whispered, "Jiaojiao, this is ...... It's King Mu who doesn't have this blessing, and it's because we don't think about it well, so don't think about it anymore, King Mu is not your beloved......"

Mrs. Tong finally couldn't hold back, and tears came out of her eyes: "A-Niang, what you said in person, as long as His Royal Highness the Seventh is canonized as the king, the queen mother will point out the relatives for him, and I, I am the first ......person to choose the queen's mother's relatives."

Especially the dream in the courtyard for several days made Mrs. Tong lose her last reserve, which felt as if she was originally in her bag, and she was taken away from her halfway trip for no reason, making it difficult for her to hold herself anymore, "Even the eldest brother said that His Royal Highness is a talent, and he is a good match with me...... Why now, now there is a sixth lady of the Ji Mansion, and His Royal Highness the Seventh is still so concerned about the sixth lady......

She couldn't hold back her tears, so she had to cover her face with a veil and cry quietly.

"Good daughter......" Mrs. Tong couldn't help but have red eyes, "Don't cry, don't cry, you are the first beauty in the capital, beautiful and talented, King Mu didn't marry you, he is not lucky, let's match better, A-Niang will find a better ...... Well, it doesn't look good if you cry. ”

Mrs. Tong cried for a while, thinking of the jealous appearance of Su Sanniang she saw today, the hideousness on her face was indeed very ugly, she stopped crying, and said in a low voice, so that A-Niang was worried or something, and returned to normal.

Mrs. Tong comforted a few words, and when she saw that her daughter had calmed down, she instructed the maid again and went out of Mrs. Tong's water feather courtyard. Out of the courtyard, when Mrs. Tong returned to the main courtyard, Tong Xiang had already changed her clothes and waited for the eldest lady under the lamp with a scroll.

"What's the matter? Jiaojiao wants to open a little?" Tong Xiang saw the eldest lady come back and put down the scroll in his hand.

The eldest lady sat down with a tired face: "Master, this matter, it is also our thoughtless thinking that let our daughter do this, I just saw Jiaojiao crying, my heart is about to break." ”

Tong Xiang snorted coldly: "I have warned you at the beginning, you must not reveal the matter of marriage with the Seventh Prince to Jiaojiao, you made your own assertion at the beginning, and now you have let your daughter suffer such grievances, you are to blame!"

The eldest lady: "I was just to make Jiaojiao happy, I thought that this marriage was a nail in the iron plate, and it would definitely be done, who knew how the emperor pointed out a Ji Liu lady from Zhuangzi to King Mu!"

Tong Xiang sighed: "There is nothing in the world that can be done certainly, Jiaojiao is still young, you don't think about it!

"Master, Jiaojiao has already thought about it, and this matter will not be spread. The eldest lady hurriedly promised, "Jiaojiao has known books and etiquette since she was a child, let's let her learn whatever she wants, never against your will, master, this matter will definitely not be spread." ”

Her daughter is now almost fifteen, and if she is wrong with the seventh prince, it is time to find a family.

Tong seemed to know the eldest lady's thoughts, he tapped the table twice with his fingers, and said softly: "Madam, Jiaojiao is not small, this family affair is ......."

"I know, I know," Mrs. Tong continued, "Master, the fourth prince is not young now...... Why don't we ......."

"Madam," Tong Xiang intercepted her words, "The biological mother of the fourth prince has passed away, and the emperor has never liked the fourth prince, how can this family matter be considered?"

"But the fifth and sixth princes are so ......" Mrs. Tong pouted, but the word poverty was not spoken.

Tong Xiang: "Madam, what the husband means is to let Jiaojiao enter the palace......"

"Enter the palace?" Mrs. Tong jumped up, "Old, master, what are you talking about! The emperor and the emperor are almost past the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and they are older than you......"

"Madame, where do you think you have gone? Tong Xiang was very helpless, what he hated was to discuss the affairs of the court with her wife, and the woman's opinion was really stupid, "The emperor now sees that the prince is diligent and motivated, and he plans to choose another concubine for the prince...... For the sake of the husband, the prince now has no children under his knees, and the prince likes beautiful women......"

Mrs. Tong understood this time, "Old, master, are you saying that you want to give Jiaojiao to the prince as a concubine?"

"This is not a concubine, it is a side concubine, the prince is now entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, the emperor began to hand over the power of the prince to the court, the prince is just around the corner, and the prince is now childless, the relationship between the prince and the princess is not harmonious, Jiaojiao entered the prince's mansion, as long as the eldest son is born, the child will be the emperor's eldest grandson in the future. "As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, Jiaojiao is the imperial concubine, if the crown princess has nothing to do, it is a question of whether she can keep the position of the crown princess! As long as the Su family can't keep the position of the crown princess, it is not impossible for Jiaojiao to be the head of the harem." ”
